The Himalayan Crest Estate

The Himalayan Crest Estate is a sanctuary unlike any other in India's luxury real estate landscape — a five-bedroom cedar-wood mansion set within eight acres of private cedar and deodar forest on the slopes above Shimla, at an elevation of 7,500 feet where the air is pristine and the silence is broken only by birdsong and the distant chime of temple bells. Designed by Shimla-based Green Design Studio using traditional Kath-Kuni construction techniques — an interlocking timber and stone method that has sheltered Himalayan families for centuries — the estate seamlessly blends heritage craftsmanship with contemporary comfort. Underfloor heating powered by geothermal energy, double-glazed windows that frame the snow-capped Dhauladhar and Pir Panjal ranges, and a professional-grade kitchen with a traditional wood-fired tandoor ensure that every season is met with warmth and indulgence. The grounds include a two-acre apple orchard (the estate produces its own premium apple juice and apple brandy), a heated indoor pool with panoramic mountain views, a private hiking trail network through the forest, a bonfire amphitheater, and a helipad for convenient access from Delhi and Chandigarh. The estate operates as a fully staffed property with a dedicated estate manager, chef, and groundskeeping team, offering the rare experience of Himalayan luxury living without the demands of maintenance.
